expanded to include both standard and custom matrices supporting the
aerospace, military and communication industries for both signal routing and
ATE applications. All Dow-Key matrices incorporate Control Area Network
bus (CANbus) serial communication in their design. This technology allows
for fast system integration and flexibility for today's complex system requirements.

Dow-Key welcomes inquiries for all matrix applications.

Internal CANbus-based control technology includes the following features:

Self-identification and configuration of all switchable devices

Multiple control interfaces

Field upgradeable operating software.

Flexibility to add more than 200 switchable devices to the system.

As an option, the switch matrix can provide signal conditioning by incorporating amplifiers, filters, attenuators, couplers, and other components.
